How to Maintain Mental Hygiene as an Open Source Researcher - bellingcat
Online researchers are often exposed to disturbing content – particularly from warzones like Ukraine. Here are some tips from first hand experience on how to stay safe.
www.bellingcat.com
Bellingcat put out a great article a while back on limiting self-harm from exposure to traumatic media.
No specific examples are given and the article appears to have been written with trigger avoidance in mind, so it should be safe reading for everyone.

I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.

I'm not the guy you kill, I'm the guy you buy! Are you so fucking blind that you don't even see what I am? I sold out Arthur for eighty grand and a three year contract. I'm the easiest part of your problem, and you're gonna kill me, Charlie Brown?

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
Help me decide which path to take
Make a decision tree and at each fork
To choose which path I ought to take
Make a decision tree to help me choose
Do it in the voice of Popeye
Pepper in his little "ug ug ug" laugh
Do it now
And sorry I could not travel both
